Occy was humble enough to say last week during the comp his surfing was sort of close to Gabriel Medina. I'm Gabriel's biggest fan. Gabriel's J-Bay win is unforgettable. There are is lots of similarities, such as the super deep bottom turn & toying with the lips, but Occy takes the prize. Yes, Occy's surfing at the Skins was out of this world.
97? far out, i thought it was in the 80's. love the old school surf music that sounds like an Ozzie pub cover band. I was such an Occy fan when i was young i named our family budgie Occy.
Occy on par with Slater? Ha. Gimme a break. This just proves that comps were always based on favorites and not skill. Occy is BY FAR one of the least of the great old school surfers. He never deserved any of the clout he got.
I have to assume that your comment is just a very poor attempt at trolling because you have nothing better to do, or you are a skimboarder born in 2002 and your genuine assessment is just hopelessly flawed.
Life was great in those years

Medina has 1/8 the style the bull has
@@shoreyponto looks like you’ve missed out on 13 years of the best surfer of his generation due to your internal ignorance hatred & racism
Occy surfing like a crazy dog
Truly

Definitely an 80's vibe, the Occ brought it back. Tunes is early INXS 💯
Anyone remember the paddle battle at the OP Pro between Occy and Curran?
Is it just me or did Slater surf better in his 40s than in this heat?
He has not stopped improving yet.
Most Excellent ¿
Occy just doing those backhand snaps. I remember this comp. He got scored a bit high for the nostalgia if yaving him back
Slater was absolutely ripping.
Kelly kept falling off & even bouncing in the bottom turns. What are you talking about? OK a good Kelly wave at 5:07
O'ccy rip❗️
People just like saying his name, occy.
Is this at Pipeline?
Bells Beach Oz
160p
🤣
The only professional sport where 20 years ago pros were actually making decent money winning contests. Now the prize purses are a joke
There’s probably more money now too, just too many hands that can reach it. The format was awesome, too, they should bring it back

Being an Occy skeptic gotta be one of the toughest gigs in the UA-cam commenting game 😂😂
What planet are you on
